Observation Toolbox below was copied from the HiRise website for this PSP. It is incomplete on this page and does not include Longitude and other important data. The other data can be read from the HiRise website. To search for this and other PSPs, in the Search box, type in the first 4 numbers, in this case it is 5557. Then choose from whatever comes up.

abrowse.jpg - this is what the original JP2 looks like in miniature. I found the liquid areas through zooming in and out of the large file using the IASViewer that I downloaded from the HiRise website.

Copy 3C1 - shows what resembles a pipeline from high above the terrain. Above the "pipe" there appears to be a creek or river. I will call it a river to avoid repetition. There are other "pipes" in other areas of this region, as you will see.

Copy 3C2 - There appears to be 1 or 2 pipes with what may be a "pond" or pool with a reflection of the white material above it.

Copy 3C3 - This is an interesting pie-shaped rock or boulder that seems to be split into quarters with one of the quarters dug out and another part is partially excavated. Look a lot closer and you might see strange faces/heads embedded in the rock material.

Copy 3C - On the left side of the white split rock is what appears to be a slightly wet, sandy soil. I wonder if it could be phyllosilicates (a compound that NASA is searching for on Mars).

On the right side of the rock is what appears to be a wet area full of a liquid, gel or an oily substance that flows under the sandy areas and reappears above ground elsewhere. According to scientists, H2O tends to evaporate into a gas in a CO2 atmosphere. So, this liquid might not be water, as we know it.

Toward the left side of the photo, the fudge or sandy layer is much thicker than what is covering the ground material on the right side. I am uncertain as to what the contents of the ground material might be. It looks almost like a garbage dump. All that's needed are seagulls.

Copy 5 - I call this photo, "Blue Jay Way" because it resembles a giant Blue Jay drinking from a heart-shaped pond. How does this kind of whimsy happen on a SUPPOSEDLY barren and lifeless planet like Mars? And how does Martian geology so closely resemble earthly creatures? Hopefully, we will find the answer soon. There are other PSP photos in my other pages that have more whimsical geological formations that resemble animals.

Copy 5A - Here I have outlined the "Blue Jay" within a red rectangle for those who have a hard time seeing it. I am uncertain if there really is a liquid or oil in the "pond", but I believe that the dark colored area at the bottom is a part of the flow of liquid or oil coming from other areas of this region.

Copy 6 - Liquid or oil appears to be flowing from somewhere in the middle of this photo downward toward the bottom right side. The contents of the whitish areas are quite disturbing to me. I don't know if anyone else can see what I see, but it makes me think of mass graves of strange creatures. Who knows, I could be right. . .or wrong.

Copy 8 - This, I think, shows a slightly wet sandy area on the left, and the dark area seems to be a pool of liquid or oil. I have no idea what all those wispy, whitish objects are on the right. This is a place I would not want to be at, even inside a spacesuit.

Copy 9 - This appears to be a deep liquid or oil filled pond, OR, it might be a downward slope of sandy material. It is a part of the large 2-sectioned "pond" further down from the twin peaks. Many of the strange objects that resemble wisps of white cotton seem to have faces. Look very closely with a magnifier. I have a bit of a feeling of foreboding about that wispy white substance; it almost looks like some sort of FUNGUS to me that is growing on those objects. I do hope that some Earthly fungus did not hitch a ride on a previous Rover and contaminated this area of Mars. The technicians working on the early Rovers in those early years were not, unfortunately, maintaining the scrupulously clean conditions that are used in 2011.

Copy 10A - This photo shows the liquid or oil or gelatinous substance oozing, dripping and gushing out of the ground material above. The red lines indicate where some of the liquid is coming from. The 2 "PIPES" above seem to be for the purpose of holding back the liquid from the river above the pipes.

I was surprised that such big drops form out of the ground material in this region of Mars. There is a river above which is why this hillside is weeping liquid. It is easy to differentiate the wet from the dryer areas. The wet is darker, as on Earth.

Copy 10B - This is to the right of Copy 10A. It shows the right end of the "pipes" and more liquid falling. I don't know why the liquid appears gelatinous in this and other photos. It reminds me of pictures taken with very fast film in the old days, and how water drops appeared gelatinous. The pipes in this region do not seem to be natural to these areas. They do not blend in with the ground material or the sandy stuff. If you look above the pipes, you can see the "watermarks" or tide marks where the river meets the dry areas of the shore. The bottom of the river is dark with fallen debris. The pipes are doing a poor job of holding back the liquid, if that is the intent.

Copy 10D - I turned this photo about 90 degrees counter-clockwise to show the seeping through of the liquid or oil out of the material above it as the drops head downward. The pipes are on the left, partly embedded in the liquid.

Copy 10 - Another closeup of the liquid or oil.

Copy 12A - This photo shows what may be a pond full of the same liquid. The left side of it is the same as Copy 9. It also shows the surrounding area from a distance.

Copy 14A - Here is part of the region from a greater distance. The 2 pipes are outlined in red dots. This is such a fascinating, yet scary place. (For me, that is).

Copy 14B - I included this because on the left side of the photo, there appears (to me, that is), what could be a small village within a valley with rough terrain. It also looks like an artist has made 2 gigantic face paintings on the downward slope of a hillside. I am not going to outline what I see in red. Some will see it, but many probably will not. I am fully aware of the effects of light and shadow and have made allowances for that.PLEASE NOTE!! I zoomed into this photo later on and discovered that I was wrong about a possible village. The faces that I saw morphed into indistinguishable natural objects the closer I zoomed in to what I thought were giant paintings or artwork. I feel a little sad about that, but it's alright. However, that does not mean that it is not there. It just means that from a certain distance above the ground, it can be seen. But the closer one gets to the target area from above, the less chance of recognizing the whole picture. That is similar to viewing crop circles in England from an airplane or satellite, and seeing it from a very low-flying balloon.

Copy 14C - This shows the area to the right of the pond. The liquid in the pond seems to be climbing a bit higher and may have exceeded the height of the pond's bank after the HiRise camera took this picture. I don't understand what geological processes have caused these various terrain in the JP2 file. I just find it so amazing, as I am sure others do also.

There seems to be a continuation of the flow of the liquid as it appears to be accumulating in pools o the right side of the photo and cascading downwards slightly, almost like a waterfall on the right front of the photo.

Copy 14E - Another view from above.

Copy 14K - This shows the left side of the 2 pipes embedded into the strange ground material, possibly to channel the liquid that is seeping out of the ground which is forming a river or a creek. Notice the glossy, gelatine-like mass just above the left end of the upper pipe.

Copy 14L1A - The blue dots show where some of the liquid is seeping from. I was going to add a duplicate of this photo, Copy 14L that doesn't have the blue dots, but I think that maybe some people may not recognize that there is liquid present here, so the blue dots will stay.

Copy 14N - This shows the wet and dry areas on and around the "twin peaks". The dry areas are lighter in color except for the reflections in the wet areas which are due to sunlight. The river runs between the peaks and the white area at the top of the photo.

Copy 14P - Closeup of the ravine between the "twin peaks". The ravine is filled with the liquid or oil which is not only coming through the ravine from the river, but the liquid is also seeping out of the peaks. The top of each peak is dry and rocky, while the sides are smooth and mostly wet. The bottom of the ravine is dark with debris that rolled downhill. I would love to know what the chemical makeup is of this liquid. Maybe someday NASA will send a Rover to this region of Mars to find out.

Copy 14R - In another area of the JP2, the red dots indicate 4 more pipes. I do not understand how the pipes came to be in this region of Mars, but I have seen at least one other pipe similar to these, but in another part of Mars in one of the photos taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) that was aboard the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) prior to 2007. The MGS orbiter was lost and presumed to have crashed into Mars. The HiRise camera is superior to the MOC, in my opinion.

Copy 14Q1 - I could not complete this PSP without including this photo and the next one. It looks nightmarish to me.

Copy 14Q2 - This is to the right of the photo above this one. There is something in the far left in the photo that looks like some strange animal. A badger? A Tasmanian Devil? Wait!! I almost forgot, this is on Mars!!! But still, it IS interesting.

This blogfest is mainly for my cropped photos of the planet Mars and its descriptions. The photos are derived from those sent back to Earth from Mars orbiters and Rovers. I will also post pictures of my tabbies and whatever things of interest I can capture with my digital camera.

Hello. . . .Welcome to my web pages. I hope you enjoy your stay!! :)

All photos on this website are derived from the original JPEG2000 full versions which were downloaded to CD or DVD from HiRISE website at HIRISE.LPL.ARIZONA.EDU, unless stated otherwise. The original JP2 large file photos are credited to NASA, JPL and University of Arizona. All the photos on this website are credited to me, Jeanie Anderson, and to marscritters.blogspot.comPlease view each photo thoroughly before reading my remarks for each one, as your perception and your opinion may differ from mine. If it does, you may place a comment at the end of this section or the other photo sections. Each photo may include the locations on the PSP JP2 full version in case the viewer may wish to access it, confirm my discoveries and look around at adjacent areas in the original JP2. You may also prefer to view the oldest photos and remarks first. The links are at or near the bottom of this page. Every effort is made by me to publish photos with the best resolution and clarity possible. Some will be shown according to importance even if a little less clear. If you wish to find these photos in the original PSP downloads, remember to copy the Pixel, Data and Display numbers provided herein as a guide to locations for your IASViewer or the new viewer that is available for download.Note: Some of the content of these photos of areas on Mars may be disturbing to some people. Many will not believe what is in them according to their personal beliefs and learned prejudices. Please keep an open mind and don't shut something out because it disagrees with your personal viewpoint. Please also keep in mind that the original JP2 photos were done from a low-Mars-orbit distance of many miles from any Martian surface and that these photos presented here are merely the product of what the cameras on the Mars orbiters and/or landers have acquired. The only adjustments I've done to these photos is to sharpen for better detail and to adjust the lighting and contrast to bring out as many details as possible. I have used transparent color on some of the photos to compare to the ones in black & white. That is all. Also, I have coined the term "Bobbles" to indicate the "people" on Mars that have giant heads and little bodies for lack of a more scientific name. They remind me of bobble-head dolls or, better yet, the new M & M candy commercials on TV that have legs, heads/faces, but without a body. Some are cute, some horrid looking and many have animal faces but seem to walk on 2 legs. They are in many places in the Mars photos and can be found in caves, alcoves, overhangs and sometimes even in pits as well as out in the open. They are probably quite friendly in spite of their large size and appearance!! Someday, mankind will discover the truth. Hopefully, the truth will not be suppressed by governments.

It has been brought to my attention by my now late brother-in-law Mike that in a science website where he used to comment on articles with others, there is a group of people who believe that each and every Mars photo taken by the HiRise camera aboard the MRO are pictures only of the ground; in other words, all flat terrain.

I can't imagine where they would get such bad and untrue information. They probably never bothered to research the MRO/HiRise angle information. In the following link, it states that "Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was about 760 kilometers, or 475 miles, away when it pointed the HiRISE camera obliquely toward the descending Phoenix lander. The camera viewed through the hazy Martian atmosphere at an angle 26 degrees above the horizon when it took the image. "

This shows that the MRO turns toward the target so that the HiRise camera is pointed at an oblique angle. In these webpages, there are many photos taken by HiRise at oblique angles of hillsides, mountains and the sides of mounds. It wouldn't make sense to only take photos of the flat ground, now would it?

Unfortunately, Mike passed away in May 2012 after having gone through heart surgery. He was a good man and we all miss him very much.

A cursory glance at each photo is not enough. Each one needs to be studied thoroughly because there are so many things to see and discover. For the PSP JP2 large file photos, I use the IASViewer which I downloaded from the HiRISE website plus a handheld magnifying glass and/or my Windows magnifier set at 2. Please feel free to copy but also give me the credit since I am the lady who found the scenes in these photos, and please tell your friends about my website. All original large file photos from HiRISE are in the PUBLIC DOMAIN and, as such, are free to be copied and explored. I hope you enjoy my Mars photo offerings. They are genuine. :) Jeanie

NOTE: All Pixel, Data and Display numbers should be considered only as approximations. As long as you are within the area you should be able to find the exact locations of my photos or close enough. Rotation numbers are important. I now keep my Rotation number on the IASViewer at or close to 6.7 degrees instead of 0.0 degrees so that I can go back and forth across the photo easily. Distances from the ground to the Mars orbiters varies, so you can move in closer or out farther using the IASViewer to see my exact photos or study the surrounding areas also.To download the JP2 large files from the HiRise website, it is easier to go to near the bottom of the HiRise Home page and type the first 4 numbers without the zeros of the file you wish to download into the Image search field, then find the file amongst the ones that come up. Browse versions are practically useless except for a cursory glance, and most of the Browse versions have errors, anyway.I understand that some viewers may not have an easy time finding some of the objects that I've described, in these photos. If so, please contact me by commenting and I will circle the object(s) in red for you. I will not mention your name.06/26/2011 - NOTE: In the HiRise website @ www.hirise.lpl.arizona.edu, to see older and the oldest PSPs, click on Catalog, then click on the double arrow to access the oldest page, then work backward using the single arrow at the bottom of each page. Hopefully, NASA or its affiliates haven't changed anything in the PSP JP2s to hide evidence of life forms or civilizations.I do not care for the colorized versions of the JP2s for researching, no matter how pretty they are because I feel that the colorization may mask or even obliterate important aspects and artifacts in the photos~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I have been unable to access the IASViewer in my computer, for some reason. I will have to find out the reason for this.NOTE: 06/26/2011 - I now have my IASViewer fully functioning and the glitch has been resolved.

NOTE: The HiRise website is now offering a new viewer download.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A LITTLE MESSAGE TO YOU on Friday, 5 February 2010

Perhaps these articles from 2006 can give a little more insight into the Catholic Church's stance on evolution and Intelligent Design, but I have yet to find something which conclusively gives more weight, scientifically, to Intelligent Design. Obviously, it just hasn't been discovered and written about yet.Although I personally believe that Evolution could not occur without life being created first by Intelligent Design, I also understand that subsequent life (after the initial spark of Creation) could not continue and then evolve without those certain natural Earthly elements (nutrients) to nurture life and make evolution possible. It may be that the "life force" for which all intelligent living beings are endowed makes us part Spirit and part matter. After all, what we call our "Soul" could be a form of electrical energy that never dies, and we need our bodies for mobility. Energy converts into matter and matter back into energy. Therefore, if my Soul is made up of pure energy, then it is that energy that gives life to that matter, which in turn nurtures the body which contains that pure Energy/Soul/Life Force.I believe that our Creator gave each of us a Soul that lives within the body and our Creator allows the body and mind to evolve into something greater than its former self. In other words, our Creator gave each Soul a "home" to live in so that each of us could be mobile to serve Him. Our Creator obviously did not give a Soul to rocks and vegetation because rocks do not serve Him and vegetation contain the nutrients that our body needs while we serve Him."To serve Him". These words seem to indicate a very complex bunch of rules and regulations that are tantamount to enslavement by an unseen 'intelligent life force'. I don't believe that to be the case. Humans had been given free will to pick and choose as to how we will live our lives and conduct ourselves. There have to be rules of ethics that govern our lives. . .otherwise there would be chaos. These rules include common sense and logic. . .and self-preservation and compassion.But one must realize and understand that the great majority of the rules and regulations set forth by the religious hierarchy of any religion in this world were thought of and decided on by humans, not by our Creator. Some regulations, such as the Semitic (Arab and Hebrew) law of not eating pork or shellfish was quite logical, due to shellfish becoming polluted at certain times, and Trichinosis being rampant in hogs whose owners were unaware in those times of the necessity for cleanliness. There is a reason for everything. But only man has the ability to misinterpret and/or corrupt God's Laws. These common sense laws were not exclusive to the Hebrews and modern Jewry. Many other cultures in different parts of the world also knew the dangers of eating bad shellfish and wormy pork.Our Creator gave us a sense of logic and common sense to know right from wrong. The Ten Commandments are really quite simple to accomplish and live by if one uses logic and common sense. These Commandments are for one's self-preservation plus for the good of all. It is simply not hard to follow these rules, and to understand that they were set forth by God and not by man. I could take each Commandment and, step by step, using reason, logic and common sense, explain how each is for the good of all and for one's self-preservation.The same holds true for the life forms on Mars, whose pictures you see here. They, I am certain, also have Souls. Their bodies are not like we humans. The physical conditions on Mars must necessarily produce an altogether different body material than ours. We cannot breathe CO2. We must have Oxygen to breathe, as well as other gases to survive. The beings in these Mars photos obviously do NOT require Oxygen to survive. Therefore, even though their bodies are different from ours and have different requirements, God also created them - gave the spark of life to them - and they, too, have Energy/Soul/Life Force.I cannot say with 100% certainty that these life forms are related to us in some way from the past. But they do appear human-like, in my opinion.-------------------------------------------------------------------------These are just a few of my most favorite .jpg photos derived from the huge JPEG2000 files downloaded from HiRise. I believe that, for the most part, they are geologically exquisite and reflect some qualities which our Earth may have been endowed with many millions or billions of years ago. Within the natural framework and order of things, our own planet supersedes the natural order of the planet Mars, not only for its beauty, but also for its ability to give and sustain life as we know it.

"LIFE AS WE KNOW IT" is the hallmark from which we decide whether or not there is life on other planets. . .other worlds. We can only make up our minds as to what is living and what is not, on another planet by what we see and research on our own world. We cannot know what is alive on a different world without actually sending adventurous researchers there, or Rovers and other scientific equipment to gauge and photograph the planet's contents. Until we are able to send astronauts to Mars to give us an eyewitness account of all things Martian, we will have to settle for what we see in the photos and what the powers that be at NASA/JPL/MSSS/all Universities involved in the Mars research and the whims of other government agencies are willing to let us know.Most of us who really care, are SEEKERS OF THE TRUTH. Let us hope that we can accomplish what we came for.

But, what of the possibility and highly probable creation and evolution of living creatures on Mars or another planet that have no comparison to anything we see here on Earth? Universal diversity seems proper.

Hi. . .Wecome to my webpages. I'm a young lady in her @L@s. Politically I'm a Conservative and religiously I am a Christian but I don't agree with some Republicans even though I have no alternative but to vote for the Republican Party since there are not enough Conservatives, unfortunately. But it will happen. I enjoy the Internet, Mars research, Crochet, sky and cloud watching (for anomalies), traditional & contemporary Scots/Irish music, Country/Bluegrass music & some classical and heavy metal, farm chores, my 5 beautiful cats & livestock, dancing and living life to the fullest. I also am a firm believer in a spiritual world that intersects with our physical world. There are other dimensions also, and portals have been opened that have allowed other-dimensional beings into ours. I have witnessed these things, which is why I feel that I am justified in revealing these facts to my fellow humans.
All photos on these pages were generated by me on my computer and are faithful representations of parts of the original JP2 photos from Mars. Any questions or comments are welcome. :)
